THE SITUATION IX CUBA.
Back in iht tiftie* Aineha M. Murray
visited Uuba, and bhe speaks of the
outrages of the SpauUrds and how
crueliy the Cubans were treated.
These people have longed ioi- an mese
years for a government of ih*ir own,
and although the United States Senate
has solemnly declared that annexation
is not ths policy ?f this government, J
yet no definite policy is announced by
McKinley'3 administration. Troop3
are kept in Cuba, and Cuba is raltd
by the military. The Soa:h ht-i a
taste uf military rule, and kuows what
it means.
The Cjlambi* State, speaking of the
different reports ftom Cuba, si\s:
The .New lors neraia recsmi > tcui
a special rc-presentative to Cuba "to investigate
and report on tbe condition
of the island Hie report, which
covers a page of Sunday's Herald, is
distinctly favorable to the Cuba <s as
a whole. They are peaoabiy disposed
and anxions for work. Tbe Cnban
police in Habaca are doing "splendid"
service- Governor Geceral Brooke
nM tho <*APfAannndent that the reports
of outrage* by banditti were '
exaggerated and almost-without loundation;
that is - one case which he had
investigated he found that the story
originated in the theft of two chickens";
an I he advised the co-respondent not
to carry a pistol when traveling in ihe
country, as he might be in danger of
shooiiog himself accidentally.
? The correspondent enlarges on the
presence of a swarm of Amerioan
"promoters," option-seekers and
would-be contractors for public works,
all "rooting" for annexation. This,
it is clear, h ttie element wuuso ?iews
as to Caban unfitness for self-government
get so eonstantly into tne papers,
annexation meaning money in their
pockets. In the opinion of the correspondent
whit the island needs most
* is a civil government. Tbe military
rnlers are doing good work but are at
loggerheads with each other and by
needless changes of policy keep things
nncaftio/i Th? Hnhans are restless !
aoder their brusque method of ad-1
ministration and at the continued j
presence of large bodies of American
troops. They bave never had a civil
government and long for one. Cubans
friendly to annexation complain that
that policy is losing ground for the
reasons stated. The" Herald is an annexationist
paper.
We quote farther testimony:
Capt. B. F. Havens, who served six
months in Cuba as paymaster of the
volunteer army, is now in Washington
and has given to The Post an account
of his experience, which is not at all
in keeping with most reports received
from the island. He did not find the
Cubans to be a horde of thriftless, unruly
and debased human beings. Instead,
he discovered them to be docile
and law-abiding, but the subjects of
"more misinformation and miirepreaantnliAn
than onir fkthor npnnifl on t hfi
1 O^uvaui/U vuva MM T W?MV? r??-r-.
globe." Capt. Havens declares that
episodes which a policeman in the
United Stales would not deem serious
enough to report to his superiors are
descrioed in the press dispatches from
Cuba as horrible outbreaks of violence
and crime. Nor did this observant
officer encounter daring his travels
through the interior any of the much
feared banditti, who are said to infest
some of the provinces. Once, indeed,
he saw two captured and handcuffed
negroes, who were dointed out a<? terrible
villians, aud it developed tbat
they were gnilty of the htinous crime
of chicken stealing. Concerning the
reports that :here is danger of an insurrection
agaiuit the United States,
Capt. Havens says: "I think it is true
that there is unrest among many of
the natives; but it is perfectly natural
under the circamstances. if I- were a
Cubau, as I am an American, I would
s also feel some onrest a? to tbe ?itualion."
The conclusion reached by him as a
result of his observations is that tbe
present unsettled conditions are due to
ths fact that the Cubans do not know
what is to become of them. They are
oppressed by the belief that they will
be placcd under subjagation by tbe
Uoiten States and held in bondage.
xne memory ana me woes ut o^amsu
oppression still weigh upon them, and
their appeal is now for something like
a definite statement from the Washington
government as to their future. In
short,as Capt. Havens intimates, bat
bestitates to declare, they desire that
the administration slrall abandon its
present policy of drift and say whether
or not the island is to be annexed.
These accounts tally with each other.
We present them by way of partial
justice to a people "the subjects of
more misinformation and misrepresent
tion than any other on the globe."
The case of chicken stealing ou rbt
not to surprise any one in the South,
where the fondness of our colored
brother for this kind of pastime is so
well known. Measured by this rale,
a large part of this country should be
deprived of self-government.
EXPERIMENTING WITH THE COTTON
T>T * v*r?
And still they are not satisfied with
using the cotton fibre, the cotton seed
meal, and hulls. More of the cotton
plant must be used. We take the
following from the Textile Excelsior:
Once the cotton fibre only was used
as the sole product of the cotton plant.
(tin io nnt in manv ncoj I
11U YV bU^ OWVU 49 ^UV W
cotton meal for stock, cotton oil for
cooking, compound butter, cotton
eed bulls for feeding stock and firing
boilers. The root of the cotton plant
has a place in pharmacopoeia, the
medicinal laboratories using large
quantities ?f the bark of the root.
Experimeats are also being carried on
to utilize the bark of the plan: itself,
which is a valuable fibre, the only
question being to decorticate or strip ,
thi3 bark off by an economical method.
It has remained for an enterprising
New York man to conceive a further
use for the cotton plant. Alex. P.
Meade, a dyesroffs manufacturer of
that city, has been conducting many
experiments in bin chemical labora- 1
tories for the utilization of waste tex|
tile products, and some of his discoveries
have been successfully utilized.
Mr. Mende wrote the Textile
| Excelsior this weekjiuquiring whether
1
k
:| ?gpg?g|g|jp pipi^f
" " 3 -* ^ora f\ lh^ !
any use is maue uunu
hull, husk or shell of the cutton boll,
from which the cotton fibre breaks
forth afier maturing, lie wants to
obtain a few hundred pounds of these
husks for the purpose of experimenting.
"We trust Mr. Mende will find
some new and very useful product
from this portion of the cotton plant,
which now goes entirely to waste. He
will, however, have to wait until
autntLD, we believe, to secure tne material
for his experiments, as all the
old cotton stalks have been beaten
down, the fields plowed and platted
aoew to King Cotton, and some Ojf the
new plants commencing to bloom.
Verily the cotton plant is a wonder.
